Promnt flttfmtinn trivn in nil legal matters entrusted to WilSFilNQTON LETTER. From Oar Regalai Correspondent. L Congress was opened on Monday with the usual crowd of curious visitors, new mem hers anl blase members, who had bevn through itall be fore and knew that a short session meant a great deal of work, more talk, and not much in tn waj of i-onrrete results. Vice-President Fair bunks pn-sided overtheopen ihti session of the Senate with a gallery that w a s crowded to' its utmost capac ity. Theie were but few va cancies on he floor, one of the most notable being that of Senator J3ailey, who has had to go home to face the oil charges in Texas, where in hiit name bas fwed mixed up with, tbe H atersP r i c e- Compacy which Is now under investigation in Austin. Sen ator Piatt was there, true to his promise that nothing except death would keep him out of his seat; Senator Allison was alment but not so much through illness a from the fact thot he has not been very, wt-ll and is hus banding his strength against the more strenuous part of the sesHion when the big ap propriation bills will come over to his committee from the House. There will not be very milch doing for the Senate in the appropriation line un til after the Christmas Holi days. There never is very m uch lor either house of Congress until after the. hoi iday Heason is over. The organization, the uppoint uiwiil of Committeen, and the starting of the needful appropriation bills from the House side, ail take up much more time thnn intervenes between the opeuingday and and Christmas. Everyone is looking for war 1 to the holi dags as needful break And plans are usuallj' made with that interval in iew, . After Congress gets back, following the flist year, one may look for considerable of interest. It i prac tically settled that theShip Subtudy Bill will go through. This is about the only piece of legis lation on whos-- fate the va rious critics are agreed. Nxt to that in order of interest comas the inheritance tax bill, but that of course, has not jet been formulated, and its tate at this brief scshSoii is very pioblematic, The Phil ippine tariff bill is of course still resting in committee in the Senate, and an effort will bemadejto get it out and start in on its way back to tbe House, but it is a little more than doubtful if action can be secured on it at this session. Lingering always in the background, there is the River and Harbor Appro priation Bill. This, if passed, will carry f50,000,000 and Mr. Burton ofOhio.theCbair man of tbe River and Har bor Committee declares him self very much in hopes that something can be done with it. The River, and ; Harbor Congress will hold itH n.-xt meeting in Washington thi winter, and it has outlined a systematic plan n( r v e r and harbor; improvements. which will call for nn annual a ppropriation of , $50,000, 000 earh year for the next eleven years. It is claimed that ,tbe money would be w(;ll spent, and that it conld be more economically speot if there was some assu rence that the annual appro priation was a fixture, and that the money could be re lied on to carry on the work without interruption. Currency legislation hg q pOHsibilit.v hut hardly aorob ability. Thebankingmtcrests of'the whole country a r sgreed on a plan of currency reform, Jand if this were a long session a bill would stond a very fair chance of passing, but with the multi tude of .other things to do this legislation will probably have to wait. One thing is assured, and that is that there will, be no tariff revision during this seHsion. Speaker Cannon is against it, the great industri al intereatH of the country as a whole are very much against it, and time is a against it, which i the most important ot all. If the Phil ippine tariff is revised oven on a basis of a 25 per cent reduction in duties it will be quite as much as could be ex pecteij, One of the most notable fi mi res in Maryland politics passed out of view last week. He was General Victoyr ; Lt jioughman, nxt to the late Senator. Gorman, ;one of the most i(fliiential f the, older democratic politicians in the state. He had served in the Confederate army and after tho war came back to hi native town of Fredrick to tMke the management, of a l(Kal paper. He was a very wealthy man, a lover and breeder of fine horses, and tlirough-his uxsociation with Senator Gorman became a very influent ial figure in state politics. He was a son in law of the late. A, S. Abell pro prietor ol th j Baltimore Sun His death temoves a very notable figure in state poli tics and one known also tbe whole country over. . ' ' In connection with the re newed war talk nnent the J a panese situation in San Fran Hsco. the report of R-ar Ad miral Converse, Chief of the Bmeau of Navigation in "the Nayy Departmenr. isqnite in tereHting. Admiral Converse stands for a big and efficient navy, and Ins report, with very little disguise, points to wards the possibility of a fu ture war. with Japan. He points ouf the necessity of having a powerful flet dis tributed on both. the- Atlan tic and, the, Pacific coasts, pending the completion of the Panama canal, which wil) make the changing of war ships from one side to the other of the continent comnnrativelycnsy. His plan for t lie Pacific squadron is in lereM He would include In tin- Atlontr q-et.18'. WHr Hlvipx, from the big t-atlle-niiipl' nf fhu Maryland and West Virginia typ down ttr the little gmr rniats of the Wilmington ; tny, '.t'lgt-thir! with th antiquated moid tors, Man 1 ray and Mom-d no k, now .011 dutyii) the PniJ lppines. Besides these, he prp vines for a flotilla of six high class torpedo boate! In addi tion to the squadron for ser vices in. Asiatic waters, his phn provides for a fleet ol equal strength with an even largf.r torpedo flotilla on du ty on the Paelflccoast. These two fleets in time of war, he says, would naturBlly be con solidatftd-undsr the flag of one Admiral. Tlie plan will in ull proha bility Iih carried out and the country will be put in a por tion to face "event rfalitica hhould Ihe JnpaneMe troulda really come to a head, but it is hardly thought posnible that Japan will seek an actu al fight over so small n mat ter as the Pacific coast school problem, though there is lit tle doubt in tbe minds of ma ny people thnt she has an eventual eye on the Philip pines. Secretary Taft has now con cluiied the bearing at the War Department of the sever al interests that want to take water .power from Nisg ra Falls. The matter hus been closed so far as tbe Ar my Engines are concerned, and it is now up to the State Deparmennt, which must make some arrangements with Canada, for the.di vision of tbe 157.000 horse power which it is estimated' can be drawn from the tails without destroying their scenic. beau ty. ' ' A Western Wonder. There's a hill at Bowie, Texas, that's twice a big as last year. This wondy ix W, L. Hill, who from a weight of 90 pounds has grown to over 180. He says: "I suffered with a te rible cough, and doctors gave me up to die of consumption. I waif reduced to 90 pounds, when I began taking Dr. King New Dis covery for consumption,' Coughs and Colds, rml now, after taking la bottles, 1 have more than doub led in weight and am completely cured."

The following statement by H M, Adams and wife, Henrietta, Penn., will interest parents and others. "A miraculous rure has U. ken place in our home. Oni child had eczema 5 years, and was pro. nonnctd incurable, when we read about Electric Hitters, and conclud. ed to try it.

Sympathy and tenderness Hre the chgrds that best bind b' art t.og'tber, ' ', Cbarseter 1st the Tongae. Germany has taken up the past time of reading i.baract er and telling fortunes by the tongue. Somebody bas been making study oi tbe organ of speech and bas discovered that it is full of indications, A long tongue is said to denote openness of character it suggests generosity and free handedness. Its pobhu. sion makes frie'nds and ene mies easily but dosen't save money. . I When the tongue is long and thick, tbe opennees do j generates into a tendency to ; gossip and scandal. Tbe fu ture of the owner is Jb e a e t with troubles of bis own rnak ing. It also indicates flight neeg and inconstu ncy . Short tongues indicate secret ivetess and dissimula tion. Their owners make good detective and attor neys. - The owner may acquire tome roonov byeconoraj and guile, but baa not the large nesi of spirit to make a large fortune. Very t bin pointed tongues are found in diffi dent people who do not euc ceed in life. x Short and broad ones ac company craft and falsehood; the person wqp has such a tongue is compelled by.it to deceive and betray whatever effort he may make to keep straight, The' vibrant, quavering tongue denotes v the artistic temperament. Brilliant car mine hue is a sign of long life and a pale pink tongue dc notes both weakness of char acter and delicacy of consti tution. "If it nil be true," says a German newspaper, "it in lucky that it is at the doctor and not our friends that we stiek out our tongues." New Cure for EpilepRy. J, B. Waterman, ot Waterman.
